Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 274

Dark flames rained down from the sky and engulfed the Imperial City of the Pamar Empire in chaos, the explosions they caused reducing the buildings to ruins, the shockwaves tearing apart those unfortunate enough to be inside. The dark flames’ vast trails swiftly extended in every direction, devouring the citizens screaming and scrambling away from the destruction.

With the spreading fire and the relentless descent of dark flames from the boundless sky thwarting their hope of escape and survival, the people of the Imperial City died afraid and horrified. Their souls turned into vengeful souls, and Baal absorbed them all.

Hovering above the Imperial City, Baal unleashed more waves of dark flames. In the span of half an hour, he had destroyed a quarter of the city and killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Having received news that Baal was quickly making his way to the Imperial Palace from the east, the Imperial Palace convened all their available forces and had them all stand by on high alert. Unfortunately, the Empire’s proud knights were currently scattered throughout the continent, hunting demons, leaving them with only the Magic Corps.

Led by Coelho Umberut, an Eighth Circle Archmage, the Empire’s Magic Corps was known as the strongest offensive unit in all of Avalon. However, even they would find it difficult to fight a Dragon, let alone the Great Demon God Baal, who was even more powerful than Dragons. Considering they would never be able to stop him, the best they could do was hold him off until Mu-Gun and the Dragons reached the Imperial Palace.

Meanwhile, the core nobles, including Emperor Pamar IV, pondered whether to leave now or see this battle through and share their fate with the Empire. The majority of the nobles argued that they should escape while they still had the chance, but Pamar thought differently. His pride as the emperor refused to let him flee and abandon the Imperial Palace. Hence, despite knowing they were no match against Baal, he chose to stay and fight.

Left with no other choice but to bite the bullet and stand their ground as well, the other nobles desperately prayed for Mu-Gun and the Dragons to arrive in time.

Upon receiving word about Baal’s location and movements, Mu-Gun and the Dragons made their way to the Imperial City as fast as they could. Since it wasn’t too far from the Centrion Mountain Range, it did not take long for them to reach their destination.

Their expressions stiffened when they arrived. The Imperial City had been completely devastated.

- The Demon God seems to have recovered more power than we thought.

Antalion sounded quite stiff. Blaze was no different.

-The problem is that the Demon God is still quickly recovering his strength even at this moment.

Looking around, Thermeon realized they were running out of time.

-We have to defeat the Demon God before he can absorb more vengeful souls and recover all his strength.

“If that happens, it will be difficult to defeat him. We have to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.”

- Don’t worry too much. No matter how powerful the Demon God is, for as long as you, God’s representative, and we, the Dragons, fight with our lives on the line, we should have a chance to kill him.

“I’m not worried. After all, I have you Dragons with me. Now, then. It’s time we take him down.”

Steeling their resolve, Mu-Gun and the Dragons chased after their target.

Shortly after their preparation for the incoming invasion, Archmage Coelho and his two hundred wizards, who were on the eastern outer walls of the Imperial Palace, noticed a figure with dark fiery wings flying toward them.

Demon God Baal was closing in on them.

“The Demon God is here! Prepare to cast the strongest magic you know!” Coelho shouted at the wizards. He then began to prepare a magic spell.

Once Baal was close enough, Coelho and the two hundred wizards simultaneously fired Fifth Circle or stronger spells toward him. However, Baal did not waver in the slightest, finding not even one of the countless magic a threat.

With a mere flap of his wings, Baal enveloped the sky in dark flames and shattered the wizards’ magic spells, including Coelho’s.

The wizards were stunned. They already knew that most of their magic spells would be of little to no threat to Baal, but they did not expect that even their strongest ones would be so easily nullified.

Having stopped their offensive, Baal extended his hands toward the wizards as if to say it was his turn now. Huge spheres of dark flames formed around his hands, quickly increasing in number. After a moment, he sent them flying toward Coelho and the wizards, who could only stare at their impending doom.

“Protect yourselves!” Coelho hurriedly called out to his subordinates. “Cast defensive magic!”

As ordered, the wizards put up barriers around them. They already knew that their defenses wouldn’t be able to stop the dark flame orbs, but putting up a fight was better than being helplessly bombarded to death.

Just before the fiery orbs hit the wizards’ defenses, an Ice Breath and Lightning Breath ripped through the battlefield from the flanks and hit the orbs, causing them to explode. The resulting shockwaves blasted the wizards into the wall behind them.

The Dragons arrived at the Imperial Palace just in time.

The wizards looked shocked and could no longer stand back up, but they didn’t seem to be in critical condition. While the Blue and Silver Dragons blocked the dark flame orbs, Mu-Gun and the others launched a counterattack.

The four Dragons unleashed their Breaths at Baal from different directions. In response, Baal immediately wrapped his wings around him, preventing any of the attacks from hitting him. A wave of dark flames then rose from his wings and deflected the Breaths with ease.

Mu-Gun merged with Wind Spirit King Nervatum. He then conjured a Thunderous Wind Sword—an Infinite Thunder Sword imbued with wind energy—and used it to attack the Demon God.

Created with the energy of a thunderstorm, the sword fell on Baal faster than light itself. As soon as Baal noticed it, he quickly raised his hands and fired dark flames from his palms. The flames turned into a huge shield and blocked the attack.

The Thunderous Wing Sword burrowed in and threatened to break the Dark Flame Shield. However, when the shield discharged a wave of dark flames, the sword was deflected upward. Not long after, the dark flames transformed into a huge Demonic Dragon and pounced at Mu-Gun.

In response, Mu-Gun quickly relinquished Wind Spirit King Nervatum’s power and borrowed the power of Ice Spirit King Eladium, turning the Thunderous Wind Sword into a Frost Lightning Sword. He swung the sword at the Demonic Dragon, the huge wave of ice energy it unleashed freezing the monster. Thunder God Qi then pierced through it, shattering it into pieces and causing it to disperse.

As Mu-Gun fought the Demonic Dragon, the six Dragons with him bombarded Baal with their Breaths. In turn, after figuring out where the attacks were coming from, Baal conjured dark flames and divided them into six, each one swirling until it had created a circle. The attacks soon collided with the Dark Flame Whirlpools, causing yet more explosions.

Much to the Dragons’ surprise, the Dark Flame Whirlpools engulfed their Breaths, then swirled furiously, quickly extinguishing them. To make things worse, dozens of Demonic Dragons flocked out of the Dark Flame Whirlpools and charged toward the Dragons.

The Dragons quickly cast Dragon Tongue Magic, destroying the incoming monsters. A few managed to avoid the attacks and narrow the distance enough to pounce on them, but they simply used their Breath magic to take out the stragglers.

Baal tried to use this opportunity to drive the Dragons into a corner, but Mu-Gun pounced on him before he could, sending dozens of Frost Lightning Swords at him. The swords pierced into Baal, restraining his defenses like a net.

Baal tried to dodge the rest, but the swords had immobilized him. Hence, he twisted in midair instead, discharging tornado-like dark flames and blasting all the swords away using them. He then sent all of them after Mu-Gun, the space in their path distorting.

Mu-Gun set the Frost Lightning Swords aside and unleashed dozens of Thunderous Wind Swords. Powerful wind energy stabbed into the Dark Flame Tornado, causing it to crack, distort, and, eventually explode.

The Demon God was deeply impressed by Mu-Gun’s ability to freely imbue the Spirit Kings’ power in the Infinite Thunder Swords.

“You have the powers of both Spirit God Vahara and Sky God Yupir? Fascinating,” Baal said.

“Yet you still effortlessly defended against our offensive. I expected nothing less from you,” Mu-Gun replied.

The Demon God was an enemy, but that didn’t mean he had to turn a blind eye to how powerful Baal was.

“Would you like to join my side? Considering how strong you are, I wouldn’t mind appointing you as my second-in-command.”

“I refuse. I do not like working under anyone.”

“I see. That’s a pity. You leave me no choice but to eliminate you,” The Demon God said indifferently.

“There is no need to pity me. You’ll be the one who will soon be eradicated, not me.”

“Kahaha! Do you really believe you’re capable of such a feat?” Baal asked, sounding quite baffled. “It will never happen, but you are free to daydream,”

Mu-Gun shrugged. “Just you wait. I’ll prove you wrong.”

He sent a Blazing Thunder Sword at the Demon God. Matching his attack, the Dragons also cast Breath and Dragon Tongue Magic.

Mu-Gun and the Dragons’ battle against the Demon God had finally begun in earnest.
